Library Services for Online Students

Library Support

The Library supports the research needs of online courses.

  • Online students have access to articles through the Articles button on the Library’s homepage.
  • Ebooks and Streaming Videos may be searched separately.
  • UVU students may go to other Utah higher education libraries and check out books with an official UVU student ID card.
  • A limited number of laptops and hotspots are available for checkout in person by current students. To check out a laptop, you must provide your UVU ID and be a student currently taking classes. Only the student signing a check out agreement is allowed to pick up one laptop or hotspot. Devices are subject to availability. Laptop Form
  • Questions about using the library? Call or chat with a librarian at the Reference Desk.

Article Delivery

If you need articles from the Library, the majority of the articles found on our webpage can be downloaded by you. We can e-mail copies to you if the full text isn't available to you. To request an article:

  1. If the full text isn't available, find if the article is available from another online or print source by searching for the magazine or journal in Journals by Title. (Type in the journal or magazine title, not the article's title, to locate full text.)
  2. If the article is available in print at the UVU Library please request via Interlibrary Loan.
  3. If you cannot find copies of the articles you need, you can request them via Interlibrary Loan.

Interlibrary Loan

Books, articles, and other materials that aren't available from the Library can be ordered through Interlibrary Loan. Articles take a few days and will arrive via e-mail. Books usually take about 12 days, and will arrive by mail.

Instructor Assistance

Faculty who are teaching or developing online courses can receive help integrating library resources into classes by contacting the Scholarly Services Librarian.
